Kool-Aid Cravings and Kool-Aid Fancies

So the other day I was CRAVING and dreaming about Purplesaurus Rex Kool-Aid. It got so bad that I spent about 30 minutes searching on the internet for it. It is LONG GONE! There are so many sites devoted to this kool-aid and it's a travesty that it has been removed from this world. I didn't realize how much my childhood was based around kool-aid till I did this search.

In searching I was reminded of other long lost flavors that are not available anymore. See if these ring a bell:

Crocodile Red?
The Great Blue Houdini?
Sharkleberry Fin?

Why in the world did they take these flavors away from us? It started to make me really mad when I thought of it. Many of my best memories revolve around these drinks. (Sad huh!)

At least I know I'm not alone out there, with all the fan sites I found.

This lead me to an Ebay search and guess what I found?? Sharkleberry Fin which is now available in the UK apparently? This is what it used to look like:

I also found Blue Raspberry Lemonade which is hard to find around these parts but I don't think it's that hard to find.

So I bought ten packs of Sharkleberry Fin and you can bet the moment it came. . .we had a celebration!!

Notice the difference in the 2009 packaging as opposed to the 80's packaging.



Our lame Wal-Mart only has the basics like: Orange, Grape, Lemon, Cherry, Tropical Punch, etc.

I've been told if you mix the lemon and the grape you would get Purplesaurus Rex, but it's just not the same.

Now I know you all want some Sharkleberry Fin dontcha? Come on over. . .we have plenty!

Jordan, you are so goofy. I want to know how much you paid for the shipping on those? :) Was it worth it?

I remember that being the big thing when we went to Thatcher! You all got our kids going on it and they bugged me about it when we got home.

Thanks so much for coming to the big city for the blessing. It is so fun to see all your kids all grown up! Your kids are definitely keepers . . . even in sacrament mtg. ;-) thought Gabriel was sitting behind us!

I had no idea that they didnt make those flavors anymore. Purplesaurus Rex was my personal favorite.
